In about an hour (4PM EST) I’m doing the part 2 talk about blocks. I’ll be building pages and talking about how I use the block editor as a full-site builder. If you’re running an agency and have been looking to update, don’t miss it.

The blog is starting to get pretty slow. Right now it fetches content from a list of sites that I’ve written, but it’s slow when not cached. The cache isn’t persistent. Thinking about making a cron that primes the cache hourly.

SessionStorage can be used in much the same way as WordPress’ object cache, only it’s directly in the visitor’s browser instead of on the server.
It’s a key element in what makes nearly headless so, so fast.

I wrote a pretty detailed article on how to build a nearly headless WordPress website on @css
This goes into detail on how the Nicholas router works, and how to build the markup for your theme.
PS: this is full site editing compatible!

Looking to break into #WordPressDevelopment or just #webdev in general? Here’s the learning path I recommend, with resources to get you going. 🧵👇 First, learn HTML. This is the most-fundamental part of the web. It is mostly memorization. The goal here is to know enough to know what to Google. Take the course 1-2 times. Don’t stress if you don’t know every single tag, they’ll come in time.

So, I knew the @css post was coming up over the weekend, and went ahead and added the site to my feed: alexstandiford.com/blog
Took a peek this morning to see if it automatically added the post, and voila! There it is.
Really enjoying this little aggregator of mine.

I’ve traveled all over about 2/3rds of this country, sampling beer and wine as I go, and I seriously can’t find porters that are better than what I could find in the Midwest. Most don’t even come close. That’s kind of the magic of travel though, isn’t it? Not only do you get to find what’s extraordinary, but you also get to discover what’s extraordinary about where you are from.
